Thanksgiving approaches. The smell of pumpkin and its attendant spices is in the air. So what do you wear for a crisp fall day? According to Christie Brinkley, the classics. And she’s right.
Enjoying the autumnal weather, the Sports Illustrated legend embraced primary colors, pairing a yellow sweater with blue jeans, plus a red checkered coat to stay warm. Her brown leather Chelsea boots are a staple of the season, and her brown Birkin is because, well, she’s a rich and famous model, and you’re not. Peep the shearling-lined suede gloves.
Brinkley completed the photo shoot aesthetic with a red pickup truck and a stone house, presumably hers in the Hamptons, because set deco is just as important as wardrobe.

Rather than shill for brands, Brinkley wrote in the caption, “Remember what this season is all about Love and joy, peace on earth, goodwill, giving, hope, good cheer, understanding, helping, togetherness. If we can practice these tenets that make up the spirit of these holidays and take them with us into the new year…the world will be a better safer and happier place,” which is honestly quite nice!
Brinkley has been seriously feeling her bag and her boots this season. Here she is with both, playing with some leaves:
